Sir,
I am residing in indira gandhi nagar, second street, aminjikarai, chennai - 29. I like to inform you that few days back there was power loss in our whole street. On complaining to tn eb, mmda arumbakkam board, they have temporarily given connection from our street junction box to another street junction box. The electrical cable has been connected to each other to required length which has been layout before the houses. It's very danger to human life.
Few weeks ago, same people worked on road and digged the road for work but after finishing the work they have not properly layed the road which creates many hurdles to vehicle goers day to day.
In this regard, i am requesting you to please rectify the problem at the earliest before any abnormal incident occurs. Precautions are better before any big incidents occurs to small kids. Keeping in the mind of safety of people and kids, this complaint is forwarded for better result.
Thanking you for taking appropriate action towards the subject.

      Double payment –request for refund –[protected]

      The cc ccharges for the above connection was assessed on 23.05.2017 to be rs.2638/- and the due date was 12.08.2017. I paid an amount of 2668 on that day morning. As it was not updated till night i paid the amount again for the second time. Both were paid through hdfc bank netbanking.

      But later i found that the bank has debited both the payments from my account and says that it was credited to tanfedco.

      I lodged the online complaint in the web self service portal as following:
      Complaint id [protected] dated 1.08.2017 status “ to be processed”
      Complaint id [protected] dated 23.08.2017 status “ to be processed”
      Complaint id [protected] dated 16.09.2017 status “ to be processed”

      I enclose herewith the copy of the bank statement for your perusal and request you to kindly do the needful and get refund of the amount at your earliest.

                    Dear madam / sir,
                    A couple of weeks back, a private contractor had arranged a jcb to dig pit to construct storm water drain, unfortunately the jcb had pulled out the underground cable, but luckily the cable had not been damaged. Due to the jcb's force the material holding the cable gave way and now is dangling dangerously. Meanwhile while filling up the concrete mix i had arranged to lay a 2" pvc pipe under the concrete mix so that this cable can be inserted through it and fixed to the post properly. Kindly depute your technician to fix the same at the earliest as rain season is going to set in. Complained four days back, till now there is no action. Thanks

                          There is a high power transformer which was deployed a year back and the heavy power transmission cables are not completely packed inside the ground.
                          The cables are exposed so much outside posing high risk for kids who are playing on the roads. There is a ration shop opposite to the transformer due to which we see lot of big rats eating the power cables. Also, during the rainy seasons, if the water logging happens, there are chances for electrocution due to these cables. Kindly take necessary action.

                          They did not take any action so far and will not take any action.
                          They only worry about their pay hike and not do their duty.

                              Hi sir, i'm ramachandran residing at no. 32/1, palani andavar koil street, perambur-11. The three face power supply to my house is not available due to faulty cable. This had happened due to regular digging up of the road for many reasons. So now the electricity board has given a temporary single face connection, which needs to be regularised with three face connection through a new cable. We have raised this complaint many times but no action has a been taken. Kindly requesting you to replace the cable at the earliest.

                                  Sub : unjustified clubbing of the 4 months reading to wive the subsidy
                                  Card no..[protected]
                                  Consumer no. [protected] – name of– chakrapani

                                  I am tenant of the above mention address, i would like to bring your notice that there was unjustified clubbing of 4 months reading and difference in meter reading as per the eb card & online eb records maintain by tneb.

                                  Please note that the following points

                                  During the month of july, 2017, there was 460 unit consumption but when i reported on[protected] to the eb office for payment of the dues, i was asked that your accounts has been disconnected due to non payment of may, 2017 bill, which was nil as per eb card, and also asked to pay the amount to reconnect it. I then paid the same as per there record, but at that time they did not ask me anything of july month bill, which was 460 units however, now they clubbed the same unit including the unit for the july, 2017 in sep, 2017 bill and waived the subsidy for both the consecutive months.

                                  Therefore, i request your good office kindly bifurcate the above two consecutive bi-monthly bill and allow me the subsidy as per the tneb rules.

                                    Sir, i am a senior citizen ngo retd., residing at chennai,
                                    My consumer no. Is[protected] of tmilnadu electicity board - region 09-chennai-south - circle 400 - south1 - section 264 - moovarasampet - distribution 671 - teachers colony.

                                    My meter assessment date is 15/3/2017 - rs.35/- due date is 03/04/2017, when i approached to pay the bill they (Eb staff) told me to pay next month, but they have disconnected on 7/4/2017 only by computer record not in the field.

                                    On the next assessment the meter reading staff came to my house at that time the card was missing, when i asked for the eb card they told me compliant to a. E to get new card, but unfortunetly he is not available in the office mostly, i am unable catch him. Finally i got the card through a eletrician.
                                    On 24/08/2017with the new card i approached to pay the arrears, the counter staff ask me to get the present meter reading, and i went home and given the present reading as 2695 as on 24/8/2017, for this they told me to pay rs.828/- to teriminate the disconnection status from the system, i have paid it they had given a recipect no. Chs264iais85 (3/2017 to 8/2017). Next according to the last assessment reading 1750 (14/3/2017), meter reading taken by me on 24/08/2017 is 2695 units, now the consumption unit is 945. The counter staff made an entry on the card cc. Charges to be paid is rs. 4717/-, i had given a sum of rupees 5000/- in a denomination of 10 x 500rupees notes, he told me that no tender is with me, so, we will keep the balance rs. 283/- as adv payment for next cc charges. Without knowing this trick behind this, i left the office that day.

                                    Later, on the next assessment date (15/9/2017) the staff came to my house and assessed from closing reading as 3210units (Cc units – 515 units) and charges is 3912/- at that time i am not in the house.
                                    The next day i asked explanation for the excess billing, but the reason they told was not satisfied, so, kindly make a correct bill for this month (Sep 2017).
                                    The same day i tried to meet a. E regarding this issue, but not available. Finally i met him with the compliant, but the answer is not satisfied.

                                    My question is - on system disconnected is dt. 7/4/2017 till now they not disconnected in the feild.

                                    Without paying my full dues how they cleared in the system status as connected.

                                    Those peoples in the offices are not giving the clear details, and breaking rules and regulation of board.
                                    So, kindly take action immediately without fail and please do the needful for me.
                                    With regards,

                                        ஐயா,
                                        நான் குறைந்த பட்சம் எனது வீட்டிற்கான மின் தொகை
                                        ரூபாய் 1000 த்திருக்கு குறைவாகவே செலுத்தி வந்தேன்
                                        ஆனால் இந்த மாதம் மிக மிக அதிகமாக ரூபாய் 22000 வந்ததை கண்டு நான் அதிர்ச்சி அடைந்தேன் ஆகையால் தாங்கள் அதை சரி செய்து தருமாறு மிக தாழ்மையுடன் கேட்டு கொள்கிறேன்
